Request for a sponsor for Felix
I am seeking a Debian packager as sponsor for the Felix project,
to provide assistance in the packaging task, and register the
result with the Debian archives.
Felix is a 'free for any use' open source advanced
programming language (translator and toolkit) which works like
a scripting language but generates high performance binaries
via C++. There is a strong emphasis on
* Integration with C and C++
* ultra high performance user space microthreading
* functional programming
Felix is developed on Sourceforge. The homepage is here
http://felix.sf.net
The main compiler is written in Ocaml. The existing package
is intended to be built from source. The full developer toolkit
also includes a Scheme interpreter, a FISh 1.6 compiler,
a C++ built version of Lua 5, the Elkhound GLR parser,
and the Frontc/Cil C code analyser.
The Debian package should be buildable automatically
from the source tarball once everything is working,
so the maintainer will need only to verify it.
I'm currently looking for a user package (i.e. binary
end user package) not a developer package.
The gap between releases varies from about 6 weeks
to a few hours.
Any offers of assistance, please include me personally
in the reply (I don't normally read this list).
[CC'd to debian-ocaml-maint whose members should note
that Felix is an Ocaml *application* not a library
useful to ocaml programmers]
